PUMA High Court Collection: June Ambrose Launches Women’s Hoops
Updated: 16 September 2026
Cape Town, South Africa — 16 February 2022 — PUMA launched its new Women’s Hoops category with the High Court collection, creatively directed by PUMA Hoops Creative Director and renowned image maker June Ambrose.
The basketball-inspired lifestyle collection brought together performance influences, streetwear and fashion, with Ambrose creating a range designed around how women move between sport, style and everyday life.
June Ambrose Shapes PUMA’s Women’s Hoops Vision
Ambrose joined PUMA in 2020 and played an integral role in the development of the brand’s Women’s Hoops category.
Her approach extended beyond traditional basketball apparel, focusing on how women incorporate movement and sport into their everyday wardrobes.
The High Court collection reflected that philosophy through pieces designed to work both on and off the court, blending athletic details with a distinctly fashion-led aesthetic.
PUMA described the collection as an expression of Ambrose’s belief that life is a sport, style is the game and basketball is the vibe.
A Collection Built Around Movement and Style
Ambrose approached the collection with the different roles and routines women move through every day in mind.
“When designing this collection, I considered the lifestyle of women and how integral movement is to our wardrobes.”
The resulting range incorporated athletic and physical references from basketball while maintaining a strong lifestyle focus.
Ambrose wanted the clothing to offer versatility across different settings, with pieces designed to make the wearer feel confident and empowered.
